“
That
is
very
irregular
,
Elizabeth
.
Have
you
gone
to
the
basement
?
”
For
a
moment
she
considered
lying
.
But
it
would
be
too
easy
for
Mrs
.
Deardorff
to
find
out
.
“
Yes
,
ma
’
am
,
”
she
said
again
.
Beth
expected
anger
,
but
Mrs
.
Deardorff
’
s
voice
was
surprisingly
relaxed
.
“
We
can
’
t
have
that
,
Elizabeth
,
”
she
said
.
“
as
much
as
Methuen
believes
in
excellence
,
we
can
’
t
have
you
playing
chess
in
the
basement
.
”
Beth
felt
her
stomach
tighten
.
“
I
believe
there
are
chess
sets
in
the
game
closet
,
”
Mrs
.
Deardorff
continued
.
“
I
’
ll
have
Fergussen
look
into
it
.
”
A
phone
began
ringing
in
the
outer
office
and
a
little
light
on
the
phone
began
flashing
.
“
That
will
be
all
,
Elizabeth
.
Mind
your
manners
at
the
high
school
and
be
sure
your
nails
are
clean
.

In
“
Major
Hoople
”
in
the
funnies
,
Major
Hoople
belonged
to
the
Owl
’
s
Club
.
It
was
a
place
where
men
sat
in
big
old
chairs
and
drank
beer
and
talked
about
President
Eisenhower
and
how
much
money
their
wives
spent
on
hats
.
Major
Hoople
had
a
huge
belly
,
like
Mr
.
Shaibel
,
and
when
he
was
at
the
Owl
’
s
Club
with
a
dark
beer
bottle
in
his
hands
,
his
words
came
from
his
mouth
with
little
bubbles
.
He
said
things
like
“
Harrumph
”
and
“
Egad
!
”
in
a
balloon
on
top
of
the
bubbles
.
That
was
a
“
club
.
”
It
was
like
the
library
reading
room
at
Methuen
.
Maybe
she
would
play
the
twelve
people
in
a
room
like
that
.
